[QUOTE="alexfarms, post: 1108865, member: 8677"] It shouldn't be an issue if you are breeding horned Hereford bull to polled angus cows or polled angus bull to horned Hereford cows. The F1 offspring should be heterozygous polled. If you wanted replacements, then don't use horned Herefords or at least breed the F1 to another polled breed such as Simmental or Charolais.[/quote] Be prepared to spend most of the rest of your life fighting the horned gene in the cow herd started by those heterozygous replacements. I have a neighbor who used 3 different registered Angus bulls of mixed cows and he got horns sired by all three of the Angus bulls.[/quote]If you really think you are more likely to get horns using Angus than using Polled Hereford then you are an obvious crack user![/quote] You stated: "If you really think you are more likely to get horns using Angus than using Polled Hereford then you are an obvious crack user!" If you read through the entire thread, you will learn that NO ONE suggested or stated that anyone would be "more likely to get horns using Angus than using Polled Herefords"> [/QUOTE]
